This piece was missing in commit ae678317b95e ("netfs: Remove
deprecated use of PG_private_2 as a second writeback flag").

There is one remaining use of PG_private_2: the function
__fscache_clear_page_bits(), whose only purpose is to clear
PG_private_2.  This is done via folio_end_private_2() which also
releases the folio reference which was supposed to be taken by
folio_start_private_2() (via ceph_set_page_fscache()).

__fscache_clear_page_bits() is called by __fscache_write_to_cache(),
but only if the parameter using_pgpriv2 is true; the only caller of
that function is ceph_fscache_write_to_cache() which still passes
true.

By calling folio_end_private_2() without folio_start_private_2(), the
folio refcounter breaks and causes trouble like RCU stalls and general
protection faults.

For the moment, ceph has to continue using PG_private_2.  It doesn't use
netfs_writepages().  I have mostly complete patches to fix that, but they got
popped onto the back burner for a bit.

I've finally managed to get cephfs set up and can now reproduce the hang
you're seeing.

I think the right thing to do is probably to at least partially revert:

	ae678317b95e760607c7b20b97c9cd4ca9ed6e1a
	netfs: Remove deprecated use of PG_private_2 as a second writeback flag

for the moment.  That removed the bit that actually did the write to the
cache on behalf of ceph.
